Aubrey W. Bonnett is professor of American studies and co-coordinator of the African-American studies program at SUNY College, Old Westbury. He has received numerous awards in New York, California, and Maryland for furthering educational achievement among the racially disadvantaged. Calvin B. Holder, Ph.D. (Harvard), is a professor of history, former history department chair, and director of the African American Studies program at the College of Staten Island/CUNY.
A serious work by an extraordinary collection of scholars that
should be commended for its inclusion of the diasporas of India,
Guyana, and Haiti that has received limited, at best, attention in
the literature…[Bonnett and Holder] should be applauded for their
commitment to produce this volume at this historical juncture…
*Charles Green, professor of sociology, Hunter College/CUNY;
author, Manufacturing Powerlessness in the Black Diaspora (2001);
editor, Globaliza*
A brilliant collection of essays…With great depth of understanding,
the authors give vivid accounts of blacks living out of Africa….I
found the book fascinating.
*Wendell Bell, professor emeritus of sociology, Yale
University*
This volume not only assembles some of the leading scholars on this
subject, but also provides cogent analysis of the multiple dynamics
of Diaspora studies… provides critical assessments of context as
well as content, and highlights both continuity and change in a way
that transcends but also connects several disciplines.
*Ivelaw Lloyd Griffith, provost and professor of political science,
York College, The City University of New York*
